DUDE: Israel SLAMS Obama’s statement on Israel and the Iranian deal

Earlier today Obama said that Israel is now onboard with his nuclear proposal, saying they acknowledge it’s been a game-changer that will keep Iran from getting nukes in the short-term:

It has been well over a year since the agreement with Iran to stop its nuclear program was signed. And by all accounts it has worked exactly the way we said it was going to work. You will recall that there were all these horror stories about how Iran was going to cheat, and this wasn’t going to work, and Iran was going to get $150 billion to finance terrorism and all these kinds of scenarios. And none of them have come to pass. And it’s not just the assessment of our intelligence community. It’s the assessment of the Israeli military and intelligence community. The country that was most opposed to this deal that acknowledges this has been a game-changer, that Iran has abided by the deal that they no longer have the sort of short term breakout capacity that would allow them to develop nuclear weapons.

But the Israeli Defense Ministry categorically disagrees, and they said as much in a very strong statement they released today:

YNET NEWS – US President Barack Obama announced Friday that the Iran nuclear agreement is working exactly as planned, and stated that Israel itself acknowledges the fact that Iran is holding to its part of the agreement.

The Israeli Defense Ministry published its reaction to the statement right before the Sabbath started, saying “the Israeli security services believe that the agreements only have value if they are based on existing reality, and that they hold no value if the reality on the ground is completely different than the reality envisioned in the agreements.”

The response continued, saying “the Munich agreement didn’t stop World War Two or the Holocaust. (The agreement’s) basic premise – that Nazi Germany could be a partner in some form of agreement – was wrong, and world leaders at the time ignored Hitler’s and other Nazi leaders’ blunt remarks (regarding the Jews).”

“This is the same regarding the agreement with Iran, which itself explicitly and publicly announces that its goal is to destroy the state of Israel. A US State Department document published this year states that Iran is the chief state sponsor of terror world wide,” the response said. “Therefore, the Israeli security establishment, the nation of Israel, and many other nations around the world, understand that agreements like those signed between the world super powers and Iran aren’t helpful. They only damage the uncompromising struggle against nations which support terror.”

The fact that the Ministry of Defense responded to Obama’s statements is unusual, as the agreement is primarily political in nature.

What a great statement! It’s not even based in “existing reality”!

And I love how they used Obama’s own State Department against him.

Obama totally lied and Israel made sure that was as clear as could be without actually saying it.
